Jennifer Lawrence Gets Candid About Her Sex Life

Why Is This Important?

Jennifer Lawrence just said "d*ck is dangerous"... and she has a valid reason.

Long Story Short

Somehow, Jennifer Lawrence's latest press tour has turned into an episode of JLaw's Sex Diaries. The 27-year-old has talked about everything from her feelings on casual hookups to how she stays friends with her ex-boyfriends and now, she's just revealed the one thing she does before having sex with a new partner... and why she thinks "d*ck is dangerous."

Long Story

Speaking with Britain's The Sun' during her latest promo stop for Red Sparrow, Jennifer Lawrence got very candid and very real about sex — AGAIN — this time revealing why, even though she talks a big talk, she doesn't actually sleep around.

"I always talk like I want d*ck, but the truth is when I look back at my sexual past it was always with boyfriends," the actress admitted. "I talk like I like it, but I don’t really do it.” As it turns out, that's because JLaw is "mostly also a germaphobe" who has "made it this far without an STI."

It's a track record she's adamant about holding onto and went on to proclaim, "D*ck is dangerous. If I was at the point where I could get an STI, doctors have already been involved. That is how much of a germaphobe I am.” And while, of course, women can also transmit STIs, she does make a valid point about the importance of asking your partners about their sexual health and keeping tabs on your own with regular check-ups.

Yes, her headline-making choice of words may raise eyebrows or even piss some people off, but it does bring up an important question: Given how common STIs are (50% of all sexually active men and women will get an STI by the time they've turned 25), why are they not taken more seriously? And why does nobody ever talk about them?

Lawrence, for one, is not taking any chances. Which is why she won't go to bed with a guy unless they're dating. "I am not in a relationship. I am making it clear that I have not had sex in a very long time," she added.
